Sometimes, people with dementia and their carers find it difficult to access self-directed support. They may feel that they have been treated unfairly by the Local Authority, or may be unsure what they have the right to expect from their Local Authority. In these situations, the 3 R’s Project may be able to help.

The 3 R’s Project is a self-directed support legal rights project. This means that the project aims to help people to understand their rights and access the support they are entitled to. The 3 R’s are the principles that the project is based on: Rights, Respect and Responsibilities.

The 3 R’s Project can assist individuals with social care support needs and third sector organisations which support individuals accessing self-directed support.

The project is supported jointly by the Baring Foundation and the Life Changes Trust.
